It is the Holy Spirit who has made it possible for the gospel to be proclaimed in two languages in this place. It is the Holy Spirit who meets us in this room, it is the Holy Spirit who makes his presence felt in the other room with our Latino brothers and sisters. It is the Holy Spirit that makes it possible for us to live together as one community. It is the Holy Spirit who removes all those barriers of pride. It is the Holy Spirit that encourages us to be compassionate with those most in need, especially when we join in raising funds to help ministries in the world. It is the divine Spirit that opens us to people from different cultures and unites us as a universal family.
